Engine will not crank over when I push start button nothing?

This sounds like you have a battery that is weak and needs to be replaced. Lets test it to see how it does.

If it passses the test then I would check the starter motor trigger wire.

Here is a guide to show you how, look toward the bottom of the guide:

If it tests bad here is a guide to help you see what it will take to change it out.

You will need to raise the car up safely.

From the sound of it, the system is not seeing a problem with theft deterrent. The only other suggestion would be to install a scan tool and check for codes, and valid communications with all modules. One other thing you might try, is disconnecting both battery cables, shorting them together for a minute or two, reconnecting and attempting start. If there is a locked up module in the system disrupting the communication line, this procedure would correct that.

Here is how you can clear the security system:

It could be a possibility that your scanner is not getting enough voltage to work did you try the battery test?

See if that helps, and reply to post.

i have a new scanner i just bought from Snap-on. i tried the cable short but still have the same problem. i also try activating the alarm but it will not go off but the control unlocks and locks the doors. I will test the battery tomorrow .

If it continuously displays 'shift to park' with the key on, perhaps it is reading that it is in another gear. What happens if you turn the key on and move the shifter, what does the display indicate? If it will change on the display, try selecting neutral, and see if the vehicle will start then. There is a bulletin that may apply, it references checking the transmission connector for terminal issues. I have included it for your reference. I am not certain on the aftermarket scan tool, you would know more than I would on its compatibility, but the fact it is not communicating may be telling you something. I work at a GM dealer, and use their equipment, so when there is a communication issue, I can be almost certain it is a problem with the vehicle.

could you tell me were the TCM is located? i check the transmission plug and every thing is okay. when i try diagnose the car i only able to check anti-lock, airbags, tire monitor, every thing but not the engine.

The TCM is in the transmission. When did you check the battery?

the transmission will not show on what gear is the car on, but i start the car from the fuse block and drive. it does not show the gear on the display no ,p,r,n,1,2,3,4 is displayed.

The gear range should always display on the information display. I have an 2007 in my stall right now and confirmed this. If you can find out why the gear range is not present, than you will probably find the problem with no start. As far as the scan tool communications, it sounds like you may have an issue. I am not 100% certain, since I have no experience with that particular scan tool. The gear range is input to the TCM via the internal mode switch, which is also in the transmission. Is the mode switch faulty? I am not certain. Since you can not validate it through the TCM data. I would think that the vehicle would not drive, shift, or even move with no TCM functioning. The transmission is all electronic. As well as checking the transmission connector for backed out pins, terminal tension may be another thing to consider, as well as shorts to ground somewhere in the harness. The way the high speed LAN architecture is laid out, the ECM is the last in line, followed by the TCM which is next to last. Modules on the high speed line are option dependent, but the ECM and TCM are last in all cases. What this means is that you have wiring going down the rear of the engine over the bell-housing, and back to the ECM along the same path. If there is a short in a line, it will take the system down. I can send you schematic and you can check wires, but there are three possibilities. Based on whether the vehicle is just option UE1, UE1 and F55, or UE1 F55 and K59. The option sticker is under the spare tire cover.

The car has the UE1 option on the sticker. could you send me the schematic diagram? thanks

Here it is, hopefully it is legible.

could you tell me what is the ECU code B1000ECU malfunction?

It designates an internal fault of the appropriate control module it is stored in. In most all cases, it is repaired simply by module replacement. Which ECU stored the fault?

That means i have to change the ECM or what do i have to replace? thanks your help.

If it is stored in the ECM, then yes, you would have to replace the ECM. You did not specify what module it was stored within.

i do not remember if is the IPC or HVAC. could you tell me were are they located? the car started a while ago but while it was on all the lights in the dash came on. i turn the car off tried to start it again, but is doing same thing.

The IPC is right in front of the driver, the instrument panel cluster. The HVAC module is also the control head for the climate system.

should i replace the instrument cluster? that is the one the has the code or should i clear the code and try to start the car?

I would not replace it at this point, I would focus more on why you cannot communicate with the TCM or ECM. The IPC and the HVAC are on the low speed LAN communication line and should not cause a no start with just a general ECU malfunction code. If it is in fact in the HVAC module, which was one of the possibilities you listed, there is a bulletin on that.
#PIC4025: History DTC B1000 Set in HVAC - keywords battery CCP climate code control panel - (Apr 14, 2006)


Subject: History DTC B1000 Set In HVAC


Models: 2005-2006 Cadillac STS




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:
Technicians may discover a history DTC set in HVAC Climate Control Panel. This DTC can be set if power is lost to the HVAC control head due to a battery or HVAC Control Head disconnect.

Recommendation/Instructions:
This is a normal condition. There will be no symptoms associated with this code. Technicians should clear all DTCs if power is cycled to the HVAC control head.

I am having the same problem and I do not know what to do. should I take it to the dealer or what?My car does not start and the dash keeps on saying shift to park. Also, my dash does not show if i am in p r n d.

My 2006 STS will not start. When I press the brake and push the button, it just click one time then does nothing, like the battery is drained. However, the battery is new.

Two nights ago my wife was driving, she called me on the phone and said it did not have any power and she was pushing the gas pedal to the floor. It made to the house started once has not started since. Before that she had to get the car jumped to get it to start now that does not work. checked all fuses and they are good. Even relay's.

have battery checked for condition including load test auto parts will do for free. batteries in poor shape will cause problems like that. you may have to reset anti theft after if battery is replaced or disconnected.

If it is not the battery try the alternator that Hmac300 forgot to mention.

when auto parts checks battery or any place that uses a machine it automatically checks alternator when it is running.

The other day I got in my car pressed the start button it slightly turned over then I pressed it again and it said nothing at all.

What could this be the starter?

Hi, this sounds like the battery is drained. here is a guide to check and replace it:

Please let us know what you find.

Best, Ken

In the past week when I tried to start car it was having problems turning over. Now it will not start at all. It has a new battery. States no fob.

Go to this link: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/car-cranks-but-wont-start

When I push the engine start button car is not start it just makes a click sound.
Battery is replaced one year ago.

one week it was after some trial engine start plus a push from from the fuel break. help
now not start. can you help please?

Try resetting security system that may be the problem. otherwise it will need scanning for codes and fuel pressure check. Here are some links:
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-check-fuel-system-pressure-and-regulator
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-reset-a-security-system
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/checking-a-service-engine-soon-or-check-engine-light-on-or-flashing

When I press the brake and push the button, the car click one time then does nothing like the battery is drained, but it is a new battery. I disconnected the battery and reconnected it. It did the same thing when I went to start it clicked once and nothing like the starter is bad.

Sound like you have a bad starter to me.

That is what I was thinking, but I wanted to be sure it was not electrical.

If you are getting a click down by the starter then that tells me the wires to the starter and ignition switch are good.

My car will not start, when I push the button all the lights come on and it ticks. The battery is good. What do you think the problem might be?

it sounds like the battery is too low to activate the starter motor. have it re checked to confirm.

Roy

no start no crank, wait a minute dash lights back up.

Hello,

This sounds like the battery is low on charge or you have a bad connection at the battery. Here are two guide that will help you get the problem fixed:

The battery drained in this car, when I tried to jump it the anti-theft light came on and will not let me do anything, even putting it in neutral. Of course it does not turn over.
